Exiting a Menu
There are three ways to exit a menu. Note that not all methods work in all menus:
•Point to Exit and press MENU or OK.
•Press 0 on the remote control.
•Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen and you return to TV viewing.
Setting Limits in Master Menus
Some screens in the main master menus are not available in the main basic menu. There also might be some
options you want to make unavailable to the basic user. These next few pages describe these type of menu
options. To make all options unavailable, set the Basic Menu Access in the Access & Power Options menu. For
more information on other menu options not mentioned in this chapter, go to Chapter 3.
Audio Menu
The Audio levels, output and speakers, and sound logic aren’t available in the basic menu.
Audio Levels Adjust the TV’s Balance (Speaker In/Ext on model J20542), Treble, Bass, Initial Volume, and
Maximum Volume.
In all models except the J20542, the Balance feature fades between left and right speakers. In the J20542,
Speaker In/Ext fades between internal and external speakers. Treble and Bass adjust the proportion of high
and low notes, respectively. Initial Volume sets the TV’s volume to the specified level every time it is turned
on. The Maximum Volume feature re-scales the volume control slider so that the far right position is always
the maximum allowable volume (but not necessarily the maximum possible volume).
Audio Output & Speakers (not available on models J20542 and J25400) Lets you turn the TV’s internal
speakers on or off and set the audio outputs to fixed-level or variable control level.
Variable Output, Speakers On Turns the TV’s speakers on and sets the variable output from the TV’s
audio output jacks, proportional to the volume setting.
Variable Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s speakers off and allows variable output from the TV’s
audio output jacks.
Fixed Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s speakers off and allows fixed output from the TV’s audio
output jacks to an external device such as a surround sound amplifier. When this feature is turned on,
the TV’s volume control, tone controls, Expanded Stereo, and mute are disabled.
Volume Hold Turns the TV’s speakers on and sets the audio outputs proportional to the current volume
setting. When this feature is turned on, mute and other volume controls are disabled.
Sound Logic Turning this feature on reduces the annoying blasts in volume during commercial breaks to
create more consistent audio output.
Picture Quality Menu
Picture adjustments, auto color, color warmth and picture tilt (for models J32435 and J36435 only) are not
available on the basic menu.
Picture Adjustments Displays the five slider controls for adjusting the way the picture looks in the current
video input source (this feature can be set differently for each video input source).
Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the picture.
Color Adjusts the richness of the color.
Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.
Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.
Sharpness Adjusts the crispness of edges in the picture.
When exiting the Picture Adjustments menu, the Save Custom Picture Preset choice list appears. You can
choose either Yes or No. If you save the settings as a Custom Picture Preset, the TV will store the settings so
that you can select them quickly if someone changes the settings.
Auto Color Displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that corrects the color of the picture.
(This is especially useful for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to channel.)
Choose Off or On, depending on your preference.
Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic color adjustments: Cool for a
more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm
setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 6500 K.
Picture Tilt (available only on models J32435 and J36435) These models have an extra large picture tube
that makes it vulnerable to the effects of the Earth’s magnetic field. You may need to adjust the picture tilt.
